Metro Brands on way to open about 200 stores

Retail major Metro Brands, which owns the Metro, Walkway and Mochi brands, and sells foreign labels such as Crocs, Fitflop and Skechers in India, plans to open 200 new stores in FY23. For Crocs, Metro Brands is its national retail partner and runs majority of their offline stores. That count is at about 140, but the company is opening around four stores a week, so it keeps changing. However, with Fitflop, UK’s premium open footwear brand, Mtero Brands run exclusive outlets, offline and online (channels), and even distribution. So, the mega retail expansion move of Metro Brands is an added business opportunity for the signage companies engaging in in-store graphics and branding projects.
